Checking the Engine-Oil Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Note:
The best time to check the engine oil is when
the engine is cool before it has been started for the
day. If it has already been run, allow the oil to drain
back down to the sump for at least 10 minutes before
checking. If the oil level is at or below the A
on the dipstick, add oil to bring the oil level to the F
mark. Do not overfill. If the oil level is between the
F and A marks, no oil addition is required.

1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Clean around the oil dipstick
dirt cannot fall into the filler hole and damage
the engine.

4. Unscrew the oil dipstick and wipe the end clean
(Figure 21).
5. Slide the oil dipstick fully into the filler tube, but
do not thread it onto the tube
6. Pull the dipstick out and look at the metal end. If
the oil level is low, slowly pour only enough oil
into the filler tube to raise the level to the F
mark.
Important:
Do not overfill the crankcase
with oil and run the engine. Engine damage
can result.

Service Interval: Every 100 hours
1. Start the engine and let it run 5 minutes. This
warms the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the machine so that the drain side is slightly
lower than the opposite side to ensure the oil
drains completely.
